Answer:

6 light years = 57 million km

Explanation:

Given;

A light year = 9.5 million km

To calculate how far is 6 light years;

6 light years = 6 × 1 light year = 6 × 9.5 million km

6 light years = 57 million km

Answer:

57 million kilometres

Explanation:

We are given that:

1 light year = 9.5 million kilometres

To get 6 light years, we simply multiply 6 by 9.5 million kilometres:

6 light years = 6 * 9.5 million= 57 million kilometres

St Bernard's star is 57 million kilometres away from the earth.

Answer:

#_time = 7.5 10⁴ s

Explanation:

In order for the astronaut to be younger than the people on earth, it follows that the speed of light has a constant speed in vacuum (c = 3 108 m / s), therefore with the expressions of special relativity we have.

            t = \frac{t_p}{ \sqrt{1-  (v/c)^2} }

where t_p is the person's own time in an immobile reference frame,

           t_{p} = t \sqrt{1 - (\frac{v}{c})^2 }

let's calculate

we assume that the speed of the space station is constant

              t_p = 1 \sqrt{1 - \frac{8 \ 10^3}{3 \ 10^8} }

             t_p = 1 \sqrt{1- 2.6666 \ 10^{-5}}

             t_ =  0.99998666657   s

             

therefore the time change is

             Δt = t - t_p

             Δt = 1 - 0.9998666657                  

              Δt = 1.3333 10⁻⁵ s

this is the delay in each second, therefore we can use a direct rule of proportions. If Δt was delayed every second, how much second (#_time) is needed for a total delay of Δt = 1 s

               #_time = 1 / Δt

               #_time =\frac{1}{1.3333 \ 10^{-5}}

               #_time = 7.5 10⁴ s

Just before it is struck by a racket, a tennis ball weighing 0.560 N has a velocity of (20.0m/s)ı^−(4.0m/s)ȷ^(20.0m/s)ı^−(4.0m/s
Art [367]

Answer:

(a) Jx = -1.14Ns, Jy = 110×3×10-³ = 0.330Ns (b) V = (0m/s)ı^−(1.79m/s)ȷ^

Explanation:

Given

W = 0.56N = mg

m = 0.56/g = 0.56/9.8 = 0.057kg

t = 3.00ms = 3.00×10-³s

Impulse is a vector quantity so we would treat it as such

We have been given the force and velocity in their component forms so to get the impulse from these quantities, we pick the respective component for the quantity we want to calculate and do the necessary calculation. The masses are scalar quantities and so do not affect the signs used in the calculations whether positive or negative. So we have that

u = (20.0m/s)ı^−(4.0m/s)ȷ^

ux = 20m/s

uy = – 4.0m/s

F = – (380N)ı^+(110N)ȷ^

Fx = –380N

Fy = 110N

J = impulse = force × time = F×t

So Jx = Fx ×t

Jy = Fy×t

Jx = –380×3×10-³ = -1.14Ns

Jy = 110×3×10-³ = 0.330Ns

Impulse also equals the change in momentum of the body. So

J = m(v–u)

J/m = v – u

V= J/m + u

Vx = Jx/m + ux

Vx = –1.14/0.057 + 20

Vx = -20 + 20 = 0m/s

Vx = 0m/s

Vy= Jy/m + uy

Vy= 0.33/0.057 + (-4.0)

Vy= 5.79 + (-4.0) = 1.79m/s

V = (0m/s)ı^−(1.79m/s)ȷ^
